Sie brauchen einen Papierstreifen (oder eine Schnur bzw. einen Schnürsenkel), einen Stift und ein Lineal.
- Nehmen Sie eine Schnur oder einen Schnürsenkel und markieren Sie darauf die gewünschte Länge, zum Beispiel 50 cm.
- Halten Sie die beiden Markierungen im Nacken zusammen und tragen Sie dabei ein Oberteil, wie Sie es gewöhnlich tragen.
- Schauen Sie in den Spiegel: Am tiefsten Punkt der Schnur wird die Kette liegen.

So trägst du es
This is a very small cross, 6 x 10 mm, on a delicate link chain of 40.5 cm with a 4 cm extender. At 40.5 cm it sits at the base of the neck, close to the throat; with the extender it drops just toward the collarbone. It is fine enough to wear with anything, alone or as the shortest layer under a longer necklace.
Take it off before showering, swimming or sport, and put it on after perfume and lotion so the small stones keep their shine. It suits a girl's first communion, a young woman's confirmation, Mother's Day or Christmas.
Fragen
How small is the cross?
6 x 10 mm. It is a very delicate piece that sits close to the throat.
Where does the tiny Guiding Light cross sit on its 40.5 cm chain?
Close to the throat, at the base of the neck. With the 4 cm extender it falls to about 44.5 cm, just above the collarbone, and the 6 x 10 mm cross stays discreet at either length.
Is the 6 x 10 mm Guiding Light cross too small for an adult?
Not for a woman who likes very delicate jewelry: it is meant to sit quietly at the throat. If she wants a cross that is seen from across a room, a larger pendant suits her better.
Why is the Guiding Light cross made of small clear stones?
For Christians the cross is a light shining in darkness. Here small rounded stones gather into a soft little cross that catches the light, a gentle daily reminder of that.
Can I shower with it?
It is better to take it off before showering, swimming or sport, which helps keep the stones and the polish bright.
Is the gold Guiding Light a good confirmation gift for a girl who wears little jewelry?
Yes. The cross is only 6 x 10 mm, so it never feels like too much, and the gold finish warms it slightly. The silver finish is cooler and even more discreet.

- Daily wear: Put your jewelry on last, after lotions, perfume and hairspray.
- Tarnish: Sterling silver darkens naturally with air and moisture. A silver polishing cloth restores its shine.
- Storage: Store it in its signature gift box, away from humidity.
- Water: Wear it in the shower and at the gym. After the pool or the sea it can darken; this is normal and reversible, and a polishing cloth brings the shine back.
Seine Bedeutung
Lit from the Easter fire
Light runs through Christian prayer, and nowhere more than at Easter. The Easter Vigil begins in darkness. A new fire is lit outside, the Paschal candle is marked with a cross and the year, and its flame is passed from hand to hand until the whole church glows. Christians have long joined the cross and that light: the instrument of Christ's death becomes the place where they see hope. Small clear stones on a cross pick up the image simply, catching the light as you move. This one is a delicate cross on a fine...
